Interview with Dr. Nicholas Conard on the birth of human symbolic culture by OSU Undergraduate Anthropology Club

In this podcast, Luke Fannin from the Undergraduate Anthropology Club at Ohio State interviews Dr. Nicholas Conard, an archaeologist at the University of Tubingen in Germany. In the interview, Dr. Conard discusses what drove his early interest in archaeology, how he began to study the relations between modern Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, and how his discoveries of early human symbolic culture - including some of the earliest examples of figurative sculpture and musical instruments - can tell us about the development of our species.
